May be only nitpicking: AFAIK NTFS links to folders (junctions) are more 
like symbolic links, while NTFS hard links only can point to files. 
(Folders in NTFS aren't files.) There is a difference between a folder and 
a link to the folder: When you delete the folder, the content is gone and 
you can't reach it via the link. Links to files behave like hard links in a 
POSIX system.

Unfortunately both aren't well supported by the Windows system tools. In 
Windows Explorer you can't see the difference between a link and a copy, 
and Windows Backup even treats links as if they were copies.
